I have the same problem as this post:-

Hi,
i want to draw a tree.
The nodes should be text, and lines should connect the nodes.
With dia it seems not possible to connect text with lines"

In my case the top text would be the parents names, with a short vertical line down to join the horizontal "childrens" line. This would have the next short vertical lines down, 1 to 17 (in my tree) with the kids names underneath, suitably spaced and aligned.

If it is possible, please be kind enough to advise which tools etc I must use ( i am a newbie).

P.S. What is ""Get the Electric palette and bring out a "Connection point". ""

mentioned in the above post reply?

Thanking you in advance,
